Finland's Delayed Nuclear Reactor Finally Comes Online, Boosting Energy Independence.

Olkiluoto 3, Europe's largest nuclear reactor, has started regular electricity production in Finland, 14 years later than planned. The reactor is expected to account for 30% of Finland's power generation and produce electricity for the next 60 years. The start of commercial operations at Olkiluoto 3 coincided with the end of the nuclear energy era in Germany, which took its last three nuclear power plants offline on Saturday. Many countries have moved to support nuclear power generation and construction since the Russian invasion of Ukraine after the war sparked concerns about energy security.
